In a world where people are trying to look and feel younger, it’s no surprise that non-invasive tweakments and facial creams are booming.

While these procedures are popular in helping to reduce the ageing process, they can also be extremely expensive. 

However, there are alternative ways to help the ageing process, including changes in your diet. 

Even better they won't break the bank and may already be in your kitchen cupboards. 

Phil Bianchi, a food expert and founder of The Gift of Oil, has shared his five anti-ageing foods that people can include in their diet which will help individuals look 10 years younger. Here’s what you need to know. 

1. Extra virgin olive oil

Known for its health benefits, such as reducing bad cholesterol, stroke and high blood pressure, Extra Virgin Olive Oil also has plenty of anti-ageing benefits. 

The monounsaturated fats in olive oil have been shown to help reduce skin ageing, as it has strong inflammatory effects.  

2. Green tea

Green tea has lots of benefits and is one of the most popular drinks for anti-ageing. It contains lots of Vitamin B2, which helps to tighten the appearance of the skin. 

As well as Vitamin B2, it also contains lots of antioxidants that are preventative for any fine lines or wrinkles.

3. Dark chocolate

Known to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, Dark chocolate also helps in reducing inflammation, improving blood flow to the skin and helping to retain moisture for longer. 

The flavanols from dark chocolate can also help to protect the skin from sun damage too - reducing the risk of sun-induced wrinkles.

4. Pomegranates

Full of lots of healthy nutrients, pomegranates have a whole variety of health benefits for the body and the skin. 

It’s been found that pomegranates can in fact help to reduce any sun damage and brown spots on the skin. The antioxidants in the fruit also help to protect the skin's collagen - making it one of the top fruits for anti-ageing!

5. Watermelon

Watermelon is not only extremely hydrating, which is good for the skin, but it also contains lots of vitamins, including Vitamin A, B and C. 

The combination of these helps to brighten the skin, boost skin health and help towards a youthful and soft appearance.
